UKPACK Jellyfish Cosmetic Jar Granted U.S. Patent for Press-Open Design

Zhejiang UKPACK Packaging Co., Ltd. has been granted U.S. Patent No. US 12,595,096 B2 for the press-open structure used in its Jellyfish Cosmetic Jar.

The patent, titled “One-Handed Press-Open Cosmetic Container,” was issued by the United States Patent and Trademark Office on April 7, 2026. It recognizes a cosmetic container structure designed to open through a press action, offering a different user experience from traditional screw-cap cosmetic jars.

The patented design is applied to UKPACK’s Jellyfish Cosmetic Jar, an original cosmetic packaging concept developed for skincare creams, face creams, masks, and other beauty formulas. With its soft rounded form and press-open lid structure, the jar combines a distinctive visual identity with a more convenient way to access the product.

Most conventional cream jars require users to twist the cap open. UKPACK’s patented structure takes a different approach. The cap assembly includes a claw assembly, snap-fit groove, clasps, and a button column. When the user presses the top button area, the clasps deform outward and release from the snap-fit groove, allowing the cap to open.

This structure is designed to make the opening process simpler and more intuitive. Instead of rotating the cap, the user can press the lid area with one hand. For cosmetic brands, this creates a smoother interaction and gives the packaging a stronger sense of product innovation.

The Jellyfish Cosmetic Jar was created as more than a decorative container. Its form is inspired by the soft, fluid shape of a jellyfish, while the internal opening mechanism gives the package a functional point of difference.

This combination of appearance and structure is important for skincare brands that want their packaging to feel more memorable in daily use. A jar may look attractive on the shelf, but the way it opens, closes, and feels in the hand also affects how users remember the product.

With the patented press-open design, the Jellyfish Cosmetic Jar gives brands a clearer packaging story: a jar that is visually recognizable, structurally different, and suitable for premium skincare positioning.

For beauty and skincare brands, packaging now needs to do more than protect the formula. It also needs to support brand identity, product positioning, and the user experience.

The Jellyfish Cosmetic Jar can help brands develop a more distinctive product line, especially for:

• Face cream
• Eye cream
• Moisturizing cream
• Sleeping mask
• Treatment cream
• Premium skincare collections
• Gift sets and limited-edition launches

The patented press-open structure gives the product a stronger functional identity, while the outer appearance can be customized through color matching, surface finishes, printing, metallization, and other decoration options.

This patent reflects UKPACK’s continued focus on original cosmetic packaging development. As a cosmetic packaging manufacturer, UKPACK’s work is not limited to selecting existing bottle or jar shapes. We also develop packaging concepts that connect structure, function, mold design, surface decoration, and manufacturability.

For brands that want to create a different product experience, UKPACK can support the process from early concept review to 3D rendering, sample development, mold production, decoration, and mass production.

The Jellyfish Cosmetic Jar is one example of how an original design idea can become a production-ready cosmetic packaging solution with both visual value and structural innovation.
